Experience quality craftsmanship and thoughtful design in this 2021 custom-built lake access home, privately situated on 1.23 acres within the gated Bayside community. With seasonal lake views, an assigned boat slip and close proximity to Lake Oconee amenities, this property offers both privacy and access to all the area has to offer. A welcoming covered front porch leads into a spacious great room with vaulted ceilings, exposed decorative beams, and expansive windows that fill the space with natural light. The open-concept layout flows seamlessly into the kitchen, where a 10-foot island with a farmhouse sink takes center stage. Rich hickory cabinetry offers abundant storage, while quartzite countertops and a vented range hood bring elevated functionality. The walk-in pantry, outfitted with ample shelving, adds everyday convenience. The main-level primary suite features vaulted ceilings, private access to the screened porch, and a generous walk-in closet. The en suite bath includes a large walk-in shower, a quartz-topped vanity, and porcelain tile flooring. Just off the primary suite, the laundry room is equipped with a sink, hickory cabinetry, and easy-to-maintain porcelain tile floors. Two secondary bedrooms with spacious closets and a shared full bath complete the main level. Upstairs, a private suite offers flexibility for guests, extended stays, or workspace needs. It includes a bedroom, full bath, walk-in closet, living area, and a well-appointed kitchenette. A walk-in attic provides convenient, accessible storage. The two-car garage is finished with low-maintenance epoxy flooring. Connected to the laundry room, a third garage-style flex space-accessible through carriage doors-can accommodate a golf cart, gym equipment, or pet-washing setup with its freestanding utility sink. The fully landscaped yard includes a large fenced area, storage shed, and two outdoor living spaces: a covered back patio ideal for al fresco dining, and a screened porch with epoxy flooring-perfect for relaxing or entertaining. As a Bayside resident, you'll enjoy a deeded, maintenance-free boat slip (#14) with new composite decking, access to a private boat ramp, and a lakeside common area complete with a gazebo, fire pit, picnic tables, putting greens, cornhole, horseshoes, and boat cleaning facilities.
